Subject: CGAL 2.2, Computational Geometry Algorithms Library Body: We are pleased to announce release 2.2 of CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library. Major additions in this release are: o Support for the Borlnd compiler (5.5) on windows and the KAI compiler on Solaris. o Several optimisation algorithms (smallest enclosing annulus, polytope_distance, width of point sets in 3D) o Additions to 2d and 3d triangulations and 2d arrangements. o Demos showing robustnees problems and their solutions. o and more The CGAL project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, easy-to-use, and efficient C++ software library of geometric data structures and algorithms. The CGAL library contains: o Basic geometric primitives such as points, vectors, lines, predicates for testing things such as relative positions of points, and operations such as intersections and distance calculation. o A collection of standard data structures and geometric algorithms, such as convex hull, (Delaunay) triangulation, planar map, polyhedron, smallest enclosing sphere, and multidimensional query structures. o Interfaces to other packages, e.g. for visualisation, and I/O, and other support facilities.
